Emergency roof repair
An emergency roof response first limits active water entry and protects people, finishes and equipment. Permanent repair follows after conditions are safe and the damaged area can be opened, dried and assessed.
Best next step
Match the scope to the condition
A temporary measure is appropriate only to reduce immediate damage. It should not be represented as a full repair when wet insulation, damaged decking or failed flashing remains.
Condition review
What the inspection needs to establish
From a safe location, document where water appears, when it started and what weather preceded it. Exterior access should wait until fall, wind and surface conditions can be controlled.
- Electrical hazards near water
- Unstable roofing or storm debris
- Hidden saturation beyond the visible leak
- Unsafe access during wind, rain or snow
